GREENVILLE, S.C. - For Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards, the toughest part of beating Michigan last season wasn't maneuvering through the Wolverines' mammoth defensive line or overcoming more than 100,000 maize and blue-clad fans. It was the plane ride - the first of his life. "I didn't want to go. I wanted to ride [the bus] with the band," Edwards said yesterday, after he was voted the preseason
offensive player of the year in the Southern Conference. "After we celebrated [after the game], I forgot we had to fly again. At the airport I was like, 'Man, I should stay or something.'?" Edwards and the Mountaineers made it back to their Boone, N.C., campus safely after the stunning 34-32 victory, then went on to win a record third consecutive Football Championship Subdivision title. Returning 14 starters, they'll be the favorites to win the national title of what used to be called Division I-AA again this season.
